If anyone DIY orders their own maint auto parts, you may want to try Summit Racing in Akron. Pricing was cheaper (Bendix and an axle shaft) than my usual go to and they are a brick and morter biz 50 years old. (mail order too)

I've spent a few grand in summit over years, I sure I'll spend more.

I hadn't thought about using them in forever. The first thing I ever got from them was a dual quad intake for a Cad engine back in the olden days.

Damn dude I can't like this post.wtf
I mean what are you driving.

I changed front and rear pads on my wife's matrix a couple weeks ago and it cost me over a hundred, hmmm now I feel better about the price I paid. The dealership wanted around 700$.

And I did my envoy a few months ago ,new pads front and rear , turned the front rotors and replaced the rear all for under 150$ .

I try to do all my own work, I'm ain't gonna pay someone else to do it.

Good luck with brakes bro, I feel bad for you with the cost of everything.

A Ford F350 - I feel the price of 4 rotors & ceramic pad kits is fair but the shipping is over the fucking top.

I mean, I do live in Merica and not freakin Australia (which is not really there if you subscribe to the flat earth nonsense)..

They are in the same boat my friend.
"What can brown do for you"?
The answer is, rob you freakin blind.

My daughter has a '13 Civic last year I changed her altenater, and it was a pain in the ass and not cheap either. A few weeks ago she said that she thought her starter was bad so I called for pricing at the chain store it was around 150$, at the dealership it was 689$ . Turned out to be the battery.

If it makes you feel better I got $1200 out of brown after they failed to pay an attendance bonus of 150 they had to pay as well. 600 of the penalty got donated in the name of civil servant that processed the complaint.

They had asbestos brake pads on the overhead crane rails when I started work at the mill.

I'm pretty sure we're all going to die anyway, though
